Well after the stink that was raised back in 03 after coast Guard stated they wanted to remove the lens. I doubt it will be left out of the tower. This is the reason the light is no longer an active aid. It is now a private aid to navigation and the park service owns the lens.
I can't find the article now, but the last plans I saw were for the lens to be removed and restored while the tower was restored and then placed back into the lantern.
